A few people have been fined a lot of money, Vic but hard to prove. One was a retired fireman. Now I hope this doesn't sound ignorant but I do know how several get started. Back in '85, I worked with Forestry for a few months. One day I walked into the Fire Boss's office and saw a map on the wall which was our region of coverage. All over the map were red dots, about the size of a pencil eraser. I asked what the were and he said fires started by lightning. In two areas on the map the dots were the size of softballs and they were centred around two indian reserves. I asked about these and he said we call those red lightning. I just nodded and walked away. A week later I was called to be a crew boss on a fire up the lake and the Fire boss took me aside and said, "If this fire goes out too quickly, it will flare up again so keep your eyes open." The Fire boss told me that this is how they make their money in the summer " 20 days later, the fire was out and I was flying home with a young native guy from one of the reserves. A call came over the radio that a fire had broke out 5kms west of the Ingenika reserve and the young guy said, "Oh that's by Billy's house" Several of those dots on the map above are by reserves
